Swords Tidy Towns was invited to send representatives to the opening of the newly refurbished Carnegie Library on North St. This building, funded by Scottish/American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, was built in 1908. For many years it was home to Swords Historical Society.
It will now house the Art Department, whose brief is to promote the arts within Swords and the Fingal region.
During speeches by Fingal Council members, kudos were given to STT for their interest in local history and their dedication to the community.
Our chairman Ken Duffy and members Rose Brennan, Georgy Hughes and Matt Cullen enjoyed the opportunity to see the newly completed renovation, and to hear about the new uses for this well-known building.
